About this episode

The episode discusses the lingering effects of Covid on home ownership for youth in America.

If you want to know why youth in America are struggling to move from renting to home ownership, then look no further than the Covid years. As one housing expert says, Covid became the pivot point in the nation where building homes turned into a developer's nightmare, because pricing homes was so impossible. And that challenge was passed right along to consumers. The effects still linger.
